Q: Hi Gang, I have a good number of shares of some blue chip dividend payers such as BCE and RY and wanted to know about some insurance with buying puts. When these correct I feel some pain but do not want to sell as to avoid capital gains plus they pay a nice dividend, just want to sleep better and want to smooth out the volatility, also was thinking of doing the same thing with some index ETF's , is there an essay or an explanation on your web site.
Thanks and keep up the great work.

Q: In order to reduce the correlation of my portfolio to the broader market, I hold a full position in JJG, an ETN that tracks a basket of grain commodity prices. My understanding is that, as an ETN (vs. ETF), its credit quality is only as good as that of Barclays Bank. Since BCS does not appear to be doingwell (esp. post-Brexit), I fear that JJG might be at undue risk.
BCS sponsors a number of different ETNs. Where do these assets rank in the "pecking order" in the event of a "bail-in"-type refinancing of the bank during a 2008-type crisis?

I have found this very helpful but I don't believe it is a complete listing. I contacted BMO Investorline but their searches weren't helpful. Do you know a site where I can find this information.

Q: Just a comment... I've finally figured out how to view your entire segment on BNN... You may want to share with others (esp people like me who are really annoyed at the short segment/repeative ads format). I've gone to BNN.ca, clicked on videos, did a search on "Peter Hodson" and was given a number of videos - the length (time) of each video is listed in the bottom right hand portion of the screen --- look for length of about 46 minutes.
PS. Love what you do, and have increased my "wealth" for it!
